UAE Minister of Economy and Tourism Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri will deliver the keynote address at the opening of Schneider Electric's Innovation Summit Middle East & Africa 2026.
Taking place at ADNEC Abu Dhabi on September 15 and 16, the summit will position the UAE capital as the region's most energy-intelligent strategic hub. The event will convene government leaders, business executives and technology innovators to chart the region's energy future.
At a time when countries and industries are rethinking how energy is generated, managed and consumed, Abu Dhabi offers a compelling background: a city translating long-term energy ambition into infrastructure, investment and innovation at scale to power the future economy. As a key contributor to Schneider Electric’s regional operations, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE offer a natural stage for the company to demonstrate solutions already being deployed across Gulf grids, buildings and industry, said Schneider Electric.
The opening day will focus on how software, automation and artificial intelligence are reshaping the way energy is designed, managed and consumed across the region. Discussions will examine software-defined energy systems, industrial automation, AI-driven efficiency, sustainability, the CEO agenda and the future of work, with parallel Innovation Hub Theatre tracks exploring AI data centers, eMobility, water technology, grid resilience, airports, autonomous operations, intelligent buildings and hotels.
